McCain/Palin campaign gets help in Maine (former MA Gov Jane Swift)

[MaineDem]

Former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift will be campaigning for the McCain/Palin ticket in Maine Wednesday.

GOP presidential nominee John McCain tapped her a few weeks ago to head a "truth squad" to defend his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, against criticism.

1. I wouldn't call that 'help'.

She was NOT a popular governor in MA.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. What does it say about the barracuda that a "truth squad" had to be created

to defend her?

[NWHarkness]

3. Big deal

We had George Mitchell speak at our office today. In Maine, there is no bigger political superstar.

5. Well, they can't send her anywhere else, and I guess they have to look like they're trying.

Not that it'll matter at all.

7. Poll gives Obama 19-point lead in Maine

With a week left before Election Day, the poll says 54 percent of those surveyed were for Obama, with 33 percent for McCain.

6. The one thrown under the bus by Romney who's since been thrown under the bus?

That Jane Swift? The one disliked by Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike?

[MaineDem]

10. Yup, the one and only.

They're both members of the sisterhood of governors who have given birth while in office but I wouldn't want Swift campaigning for me.

[Cha]

13. I remember her vaguely(twins) ..but what's her specialty

as far as bad governing is concerned?

[TwilightGardener]

9. Jane Swift...she's another pig with lipstick, as I recall...

[CreekDog]

11. Swift is surely more popular in Maine

than she was in Massachusettes.

think about it. :think:

[Forkboy]

12. He might as well have asked for help from this guy.

[Trajan]

14. Oooooooo .... Now he has us right where he wants us !

Looking at +19% and running like a decrepit grampa ....

Hell yeah Johnnie: You can win Maine in 6 days ....

Go for it .... Dont leave til you succeed ....

[Life Long Dem]

17. But he gets pissed when Palin tells the truth.

Just now McSame said, when two mavericks get together they don't always agree with each other.

He should have taken his own advice and vetted the candidate.
